21.02 French Island, Sandstone Island and Elizabeth Island
FRENCH ISLAND AND SANDSTONE ISLAND PLANNING SCHEME 21.02 FRENCH ISLAND, SANDSTONE ISLAND AND ELIZABETH ISLAND 19/05/2016 C5 PROFILE 21.02-1 Planning and structure 19/05/2016 C5 The day-to-day administration of the planning scheme and assessment of planning permit applications made to the responsible authority are undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Parks Victoria is the land manager of the French Island National Park and their views or comments may be sought by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning in responding to referrals of planning applications, particularly use and development proposals abutting the National Park. 21.02-2 Population and settlement 19/05/2016 C5 Permanent and visitor population French Island has an estimated permanent population of 90 people and an additional part- time population of 90 people. While the Island’s permanent population has fluctuated over the years, it has changed little since 1975 when the McLeod Prison Farm closed. The Island is likely to continue to attract mainlander interest as a location for ‘weekender’ or hobby farm activities. This level of interest should maintain the Island’s part-time population. Settlement The settlement pattern on French Island is scattered due to the nature of the holdings, but dwellings are predominantly located on the western side of the Island. The Island contains approximately 60 dwellings. French Island has no reticulated services or facilities, which restricts residential development opportunities. Settlement on Sandstone Island consists of a single dwelling and a shed. There is no opportunity for further development, given its environmental setting and land constraints.
